I can nor speak of whats going on with in your own internal system and whether your alters are from DID or not...only your treatment providers can say whether your alters are the type that fit the diagnostics for DID...

to find out contact your own treatment providers and go through diagnostic evaluations. after the evaluations are done your treatment providers will be able to tell you what kind of alters you have and what they are from..

I can only tell you what the mental health community here where I live and work, which is New York which is in the USA and how my own internal system of alters were like..

here in New York the belief among the mental health community is that DID /DID type alters are created in children under the age of 5 due to extreme abuse..

thats not to say someone in New York wont have alters aged above 5 yrs old. Some DID type alters evolve along with the host and others dont.

but here in New York the belief is that children who are abused for the first time over the age of 5 do not develop DID because they know other coping tools for example elementary schools teach children safety tools of what to do if someone is abusing you/ tries to abduct you and other safety tools. so the children do not have to rely on dissociation skills.

Im not saying splitting into alters after the age of 5 doesnt happen because theres always the exception to every rule no matter what the rule. each person is different. just that ....in general ......those with DID type alters, the alters can be traced back to their creation time which is usually before the age of 5. it usually takes many many years for some decades to recover that core memory that resulted in the alters creation because of whats called repressed memories..

the brain works in amazing ways where it can cover up an extremely traumatic memory with memories that are traumatic but not as traumatic as the one being covered up, buried.

thats why I am so amazed with how fast you are progressing.. you have somehow reached the level of healing that many many DID people dont reach until they have been in treatment for 10-15 yrs and using grounding and other therapeutic tools like edmr, cbt, dbt and others, .. you are just jumping on through this process so fast that Im afraid that you are learning more than your system can actually process.

I am trying to limit what I am telling you so that what I say to you doesnt make you think and create false alters based on what I am telling you.. theres more to alter creation then just being abused.

my best advice is talk to your treatment providers. they will give you all the information about how your alters fit in with DID type alters and other more in depth questions/answers then I can give you here.
